Zhao Yun smiled gently, "Feng Xian has won the award!" How can I compare to the courage of Fengxian to sweep the court of Wusun! Lu Bu laughed very much, "The same, the same!" After

a pause, his face was straight, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes drifted to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, why don't we take this opportunity to take advantage of Qiuzi?" The

three people present were stunned, and Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" Sima Yi and Yang Feng both nodded, their eyes fixed on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why not?" The strength of the Qiuci army is weak, and its key points are all under the control of our army, so it will be easy for us to take the Qiuci! Wouldn't it be a great achievement to take down the turtles?

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled: "Not only is it not a great achievement, but it will be severely punished by the lord!"

Lu Bu blinked his eyes, showing a puzzled look, according to his thoughts, isn't it a big credit to expand the territory? He has always remembered Chen Chu's words, and he always wants to become an immortal hero who expands his territory and shines in the annals of history.

Sima Yi continued: "Although it is easy to occupy Qiuzi, things will be troublesome after that. We will lose the trust of the countries of the Western Regions in us because of this matter, and we will regard us as their enemies; Although the strength of each of the dozens of countries in the Western Regions is not very strong, if they unite, it will be difficult for us to deal with it; In addition, although Wusun has suffered a heavy setback, but the country is still there, it is bound to reorganize its military strength and fight a decisive battle with me, if we become enemies with the countries of the Western Regions, Wusun will definitely take advantage of this and unite with the countries of the Western Regions, and at that time, our only choice is to retreat to Yumen Pass!

Zhao Yun and Yang Feng nodded solemnly, and together they clasped their fists at Lu Bu and said, "General Fengxian must not do such a short-sighted thing, so as not to spoil the lord's big affairs!"

Lu Bu rubbed his forehead, he felt a headache, and said impatiently: "Okay! Just listen to you!

Seeing this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, has the flying pigeon message to the lord been sent?" Lu Bu asked as he remembered something.

Zhao Yun replied, "As soon as General Fengxian arrives, I will order someone to send out the latest situation. The lord will receive the report tomorrow at the latest.

Lu Bu nodded, and then several people talked about some turtles.

Another day later, 15,000 pursuing troops led by Tule and Zhao Tuo recaptured Wensu, and Hassan led tens of thousands of remnants of his army to the northwest and fled into Wensu territory, where they settled at a pass in the Tianshan Mountains. Neither Tule nor Zhao Tuo wanted to pursue, so they were stationed in Wensu, sending people around to collect the Wensu defenders who had been scattered in the previous battle, and sending fast horse scouts to deliver a message to Qiuzi City.

At this point, the first battle of the Western Regions came to an end. Wusun, a powerful country north of the Tianshan Mountains, was severely damaged in this battle, and even the royal capital was captured by the northern army, the main force lost hundreds of thousands, and the grain accumulated over the years turned into ashes. The losses of the Northern Army were not small, but the victory in this battle made Chen Chu take a firm step into Central Asia, and became a cornerstone for Chen Chu to firmly control the Western Regions.

After receiving the good news from the Western Regions, Chen Chu was excited for several days, and the most deeply felt this was the confidantes around Chen Chu, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan could not get up until noon these days.

While Chen Chu was excited, of course, he did not forget the matter of the Western Regions and discussed with several think tanks around him, and finally Chen Chu decided to restore the abolished Western Regions Changshi Mansion, appoint Sima Yi as the chief historian, and appoint Yang Feng as the main secretary. Chen Chu's plan for the Western Regions Changshi Mansion was not exactly the same as before, and the previous Changshi Mansion was between counties and counties in terms of scale, and was generally under the jurisdiction of the Xiliang Thorn Mansion; The Changshi Mansion rebuilt by Chen Chu is an administrative unit at the state level, and it can be seen from this alone that Chen Chu attaches great importance to the Western Regions; In the past, the governance of the Changshi Mansion was located in Loulan, and the new Changshi Mansion was in Qiuci, which was considered, firstly, the Northern Army had established enough prestige in Qiuci, and the Changshi Mansion had a certain foundation here, and secondly, the location of Qiuci was closer to the west, which was more conducive to the escort of the caravan by the Northern Army.

As for the issue of stationing troops, Chen Chu finally decided to temporarily leave Zhao Yun to lead his troops to garrison Qiuzi, and the source of troops damaged in the battle was replenished by the Bingzhou side. Lü Bu returned to the state after a series of work was completed.

In order to strengthen his control over Xiliang and the Western Regions, Chen Chu also decided to transfer the newly formed Seventh Army Corps to Xiliang, and Zhao Yun was responsible for the military affairs of the entire Xiliang and the Western Regions.

Jia Xu was transferred back to Chang'an, because the matter in the west has basically been resolved, Sima Yi has proved that he is a person who can take on great responsibilities, and Chang'an also needs a big talent to take charge.

The relevant orders were quickly sent to Yumen Pass, and at the same time there were orders sent to Chang'an, what happened in the Western Regions had to be reported to the Son of Heaven, and the establishment of the Changshi Mansion also required the emperor to issue a holy decree.

When the good news of the Western Regions reached Chang'an and the ears of the emperor, the entire Chang'an was boiling, and the emperor was so surprised that he couldn't help himself.

The emperor, who was well taken care of by the Northern Army, wept in front of the ancestral tablet and said: "The descendants of the unworthy ancestors have finally lived up to the prestige of their ancestors, and the army of my Celestial Dynasty swept through the Western Regions to rebuild the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty and the outside of the territory!" The excited emperor immediately issued an edict to add the name of Shenwei General to the general, and named the Marquis of Qin, and at the same time added Zhao Yun and Lu Bu as the generals of Zhenxi and Zhenbei respectively, and the generals of Zhenxi and Zhenbei belonged to the second-rank generals, second only to the generals in terms of rank.

The street market in Chang'an suddenly became several times more lively than usual, people were excitedly talking about the conquest of the Northern Army to conquer the Western Regions, the tavern and tea shop were crowded with guests, some storytellers had made up the deeds of the Northern Army, the image of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun was described very exaggeratedly, Lu Bu was put on the name of the greedy wolf general by the storyteller, and Zhao Yun was also installed with the name of the white tiger general, in just a few days, the prestige of the two of them rose like a rocket, becoming a hero in the hearts of the public, also became the dream person in the heart of the young girl, and then this trend spread all over the country.

......

It has been several days since the wedding, and the guests who came to Bingzhou to congratulate and the envoys of the princes have basically left, but there are still a few people who have not left, one of them is Sun Jian's envoy Zhang Zhao.

On this day, Zhang Zhao was summoned to the inner hall by Chen Chu.

As soon as they met, Zhang Zhao made a big gift to Chen Chu, Chen Chu hurriedly helped Zhang Zhao up, said kind words in his mouth, but said in his heart: Gongjin said that Zhang Zhao must ask for something here, and now it seems that it is really true!

They each sat down, and Zhang Zhao sat on the left. Chen Chu pointed to the first person on the right and introduced: "This is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, presumably Mr. Zibu has heard of Gongjin's reputation, and Gongjin is now the Governor of the Navy of my Northern Army."

Zhang Zhao showed a slightly surprised expression, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I have long heard that Gong Jin is amazingly talented, and it is really a blessing to see him today!"

Zhou Yu returned the salute elegantly: "Mr. Zibu has won the award, and Mr. Zibu is the talent that my generation admires."

Zhang Zhao smiled quite appreciatively, and said humbly: "Gong Jin praised it falsely!"

At this time, Chen Chu said: "Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai has always admired me, but it's a pity that I can't see it because I am busy with mundane affairs.

Zhang Zhao hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The general's intentions, I will convey them!"

After a pause, Zhang Zhao said with a sad face: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jiangnan is quite unquiet, and there are rebellious ministers and thieves who rise up to make trouble. After speaking, Zhang Zhao glanced at Chen Chu's expression, and saw Chen Chu's expression as usual.

Chen Chu had already planned about this, and said with a smile: "Sun Wentai is brave, I don't know if I can help him?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "I only hope that the general can ask the Son of Heaven to give my lord the title of sweeping away the ugliness!"

Chen Chu and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and Zhou Yu smiled and said: "In view of the chaotic situation in the south of the Yangtze River, my lord has long intended to appoint Sun Wentai to have enough titles, but in view of the reaction of the princes, no official document has been issued.

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know which princes oppose this?"

Chen Chu smiled faintly: "Mr. Zibu doesn't need to know this.

Zhang Zhao stood up and bowed to Chen Chu: "Please be sure to inform the general!"

Chen Chu hesitated, sighed and replied: "It's mainly two people, I believe that it is not difficult for Mr. Zibu to guess, they are Jingzhou Liu Biao and Huainan Yuan Shu."

Zhang Zhao frowned tightly and muttered, "Sure enough, it's these two!" Then

he bowed to Chen Chu and said, "General Xie will inform me of this!"

Chen Chu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm a villain!"

"What did the general say? It seems that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are villains! Zhang Zhao's eyes flashed with resentment.

Chen Chu exchanged a meaningful look with Zhou Yu.

An hour later, Zhang Zhao left the inner hall with a smile on his face, and Chen Chu personally sent him off. Talking and laughing all the way to the gate, a general waiting at the gate greeted him, a middle-aged man, with a very powerful appearance.

Chen Chu's eyes couldn't help but light up and asked, "This general has an extraordinary temperament!" Don't know what to call it?

Zhang Zhao hurriedly said to the man: "General Huang, come and meet the general!" "It turns out that this middle-aged military general is Huang Gai who escorted Zhang Zhao to merge with the state, no wonder his temperament and demeanor are so good!

Huang Gai frowned, revealing an unhappy expression, Dian Wei, who was standing behind Chen Chu, keenly felt the hostility of the other party, his eyebrows furrowed, and a violent momentum erupted, and everyone present couldn't help but be shocked. Chen Chu knew Dian Wei very well, and looked at Huang Gai thoughtfully.

In the face of Dian Wei's violent volcano-like might, how could Huang Gai, who was in the middle of the storm, resist it, and after holding on for a while, a painful look appeared on his face, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.

Chen Chu smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "Evil!"

Dian Wei understood, and immediately retracted his momentum, Huang Gai only felt that the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared, his legs were weak, and he almost sat down on the spot.

Although Zhang Zhao didn't know martial arts, he keenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Huang Gai in an aggravated tone: "Old General Huang, why don't you salute the general?" In normal times, Zhang Zhao would not dare to speak to Huang Gai like this, but at this moment, he was afraid that Huang Gai, who was like a bull, would offend the general Chen Chu.
